Favourite Dave German

Least favourite Jo Brand

Fav: Stewart Lee, the way he weaves a narrative in his stand ups is genius and without sounding too dramatic there have been times where he's made me glad to be alive. I also like Tommy Tiernan, Johnny Vegas, James Acaster. Also like Sean Lock (and he lives near me so I see him out and about)

Least: John Bishop, Shappi Khorsandi (agree with pp re trying too hard), Peter Kay

Favourites: Romesh as mentioned a few times, Mark Nelson, Aisling Bea

Least favourite : the many, many sexist ones

Favourite: Bridget Christie and Katherine Ryan

Least favourite: James Acaster. I know he’s hugely popular but I just don’t find him funny.

Favourite : Tim Vine
Least favourite : Jimmy Carr

Thanks everyone, this is cheering me up today. I've been home since last Thursday and needed something to cheer me up. What a better way than laughing your socks off

Favorites Dara O'Brian by a long shot, and Sindhu Vee. Also Rhod Gilbert but I get a sore throat listening to him as is so shouty .

Too many i dislike.

Sorry O'Briain (thank you autocorrect).

Don't really have a favourite but like Jo Brand, Jason Manford, Kevin Bridges to name a few.

Least favourite is possibly Frankie Boyle. I do laugh at him sometimes, but he comes across a bit mean spirited - rather than just cynical - and I cannot forget that he once mocked the parents of a down's syndrome child. Sarah Millican grates a bit sometimes.

Dave Allan is my favourite, all day long. Do yourself a favour and google Dave Allan Pow escape (it’s a sketch rather than stand up but trust me)

You can thank me later.

Favourites: Victoria Wood, Michelle Wolf, Frankie Boyle, Joan Rivers, Lily Savage, Andi Osho (she doesn't do much stand-up these days), Stewart Lee, Billy Connolly, Kenneth Williams (does he count? more raconteur than stand-up really), Dave Allen, Hannah Gadsby, George Carlin

Dislike: Sarah Millican, Michael McIntyre, John Bishop, Ricky Gervais, Bill Hicks, Sarah Silverman

Favourites: John Robbins, Ivo Graham, Darren Harriott, David Gorman, Sarah Pascoe, Mark Watson. All fairly gentle.

Least favourite: Rhys James. He comes across as a nasty little boy who was bullied at school and now has the power to pick on other people. Hopefully he's actually nice and it's just a persona, but it puts me right off.

Happy days for me was staying up late to watch Dave Allen when I was about 9 or 10. I still remember that sketch and the harakiri ones. And Heathcliff and Cathy!

As long as we're allowed to include dead ones: Victoria Wood is the best. Not only her stand-up, but her writing generally - I saw some re-runs of Dinner Ladies not long ago and they're still brilliant. Also, Jeremy Hardy, and the late great Ken Campbell (although strictly he was a performer, not a comedian). Least favourite (and all alive), Ricky Gervais, Michael McIntyre and Jimmy Carr.

Favourite: Sean Lick, Stewart Lee, Greg Davies

Least: Michael mackintyre, that kids that goes round with his dad and the bald little Britain guy.

Fave: probably the late Bill Hicks

Don’t really have a least fave as I’d just stop watching if I wasn’t laughing

Favourite- Tim Minchin

Least- I don’t know tbh, I only ever like or feel ambivalence towards comedians. Maybe back in the day when the sexism was more overt I might have had stronger feelings.

I have loads of favourites - Zoe Lyons, Tim Minchin, Russell Howard, Jim Jeffries, Hal Cruttingdon, Ricky Gervais, Michael McIntyre

I'm not so keen on Lee Evans (too bouncy and sweaty)

Love - Jack dee, jo brand, Peter Kay, lee Evans

Dislike - Jonny Vegas 🤮

Faves: Daniel Kitson (whose stories are are brilliant as his stand up) Josie Long, James Acaster. I like Make Happy but no much other Bo Burnham,

Least : aside from racists or sexists, michale macintyre, Sarah millican, Jimmy carr etc

Happy days for me was staying up late to watch Dave Allen when I was about 9 or 10. I still remember that sketch and the harakiri ones. And Heathcliff and Cathy!

Yes! And the Pope, my staunchly catholic grandma used to cry with laughter at the religious stories and sketches.

Kerry godliman, Dave gorman, Adam buxton

Don't like shappi korsandi, Lee Evans or Michael macintyre
